This expertly constructed 3-story home offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a sought-after 2-car garage, a peaceful terrace, a roof deck, and thoughtful details throughout. Lush trees line a quiet block, leading to the home's classic red brick facade with vibrant window boxes and black accents adding character. Stepping inside, the welcoming foyer makes an impressive first impression with gleaming tile floors, a built-in catchall shelf, and wainscotting along the wall. Ascending the unique dual staircase, you'll find a lavish main level that mirrors the pages of an architectural magazine. Soaring ceilings trimmed with crown molding and hardwood floors frame the open, airy space that takes full advantage of the home's extra deep lot. A set of tall windows brighten the inviting living room at the front. Past a powder room, a chandelier and wainscoting help define the center dining area, where there's plenty of space to entertain guests. At the rear is a showstopping gourmet kitchen adorned with high-end stainless steel appliances, custom white shaker-style cabinetry, black granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and an island with seating. Distinctive touches include a pot filler over the stove, double ranges, honed granite on the island, a wine rack, an appliance garage for hidden storage, and a dramatic tray ceiling. Off the kitchen, the serene terrace offers an escape from the city's hustle, perfect for barbecues and al-fresco dining, with a retractable awning acting as a shield from the weather. From the dining area, the dual staircase descends back down to the first level, which features a bonus room and full bathroom that could be used as a bedroom suite, den, or gym. There's also an entry from the 2-car garage and a rear patio. Up on the third level, the hotel-like primary suite has a large carpeted bedroom with two generous closets, lots of bright windows, and a raised section of the ceiling providing more light. The En-Suite bathroom boasts a double vanity, a linen closet, and a glass-enclosed rainfall shower. Down the hall is a conveniently placed laundry room with a built-in ironing board, a full bathroom, and another spacious bedroom. Topping off the home is a pilot house with a wet bar and a roof deck that's the perfect spot to host friends and family or unwind with a glass of wine. Additional highlights include dual-zone HVAC, bull-nosed finished wall corners, and French doors with built-in blinds. 1921 Manning St is made perfect by its fantastic location, earning a Walk Score of 97!
